Sleazy giallo, loved it!
20 February 2018
AKA Slaughter Hotel, Italian giallo set in a country villa which is a clinic for rich, beautiful women with mental issues. Naturally there is a masked killer who is murdering these women in gruesome ways, one by one. Unlike many other giallo movies the plot here is a simple one, which is no bad thing as they can often be too confusing and unbelievable. This film also throws in a great deal of sex and nudity, some of which is very sleazy & graphic but personally I think that it added to it's charm, or should I say notoriety! As with so many Italian movies from this era it is beautifully shot & having just seen this on blu ray (as Cold Blooded Beast) it really looked good. Add in Klaus Kinski, one of my favourite actors, and this film ticks all the right boxes for me.
